Product Description: A realistic guide to strong and steady investments that have proven themselves worthy over the years Investors tend to forget about the slow and steady growth of value or blue-chip stocks when quick run-ups in the market occur. These quick spikes rarely last long and investors then return to the comfort of blue-chip stocks. This book offers readers the information needed to create a strong portfolio that combines safety and predictability for the long-term. Focusing on the steady growth of value, or blue chips, readers will hold this guide close to their wallets as they look to find more reliable investments. With the volatility of the stock market, Investing with Giants helps investors develop benchmarks so they can pick both recommended stocks and personal potential favorites that will consistently grow over a lifetime. With an in-depth view of ten publicly traded companies that have stood the test of time and additional resources for research, this book deals with stocks that have proven themselves worthy over the years, not just days.
an important reminder Investing With Giants takes us back to our investing roots and reminds us that investing requires due diligence. Mead helps the reader return to a "think before you leap" model of investing.
Great for new investors As an investment club member for 6 years, I found this book exceptionally helpful in better understanding how to evaluate stocks in this uncertain market. Using the annual report section helped me to review several stocks from a closer vantage point. It helped demystify the numbers. Linda Mead writes in a very readable manner making a dry subject much more interesting.
First rate investing primer This is an excellent book for people who don't have a lot of experience as an investor. Mead examines notable blue chip companies and walks readers through their history and how it relates to the company stock. She explains what to look for in annual reports and how to figure out which companies are right for different investment needs.
